Algerian Berber music from a locally-based artist. Vocals and a variety of North African instruments, including strings, percussion, flute/ney, keyboards. Nicely no-frills authentic folk sung in the Tamazight language. Good stuff, I liked every track.

1. Upbeat and celebratory. Driving w/good vocals.
2. Starts slow, picks up into an upbeat swirl with lots of energy.
3. Fast and fiery with a driving beat and big, joyful sound.
4. Slow, dramatic strings into a mid/upbeat jam.
5. Upbeat perc/flute in a lively and stirring folk party.
6. Instrumental, starts slow gets upbeat w/some great playing from all.
7.Fast w/female vocals, cool percussion, driving & cool.
8. Cool banjo intro, slow then upbeat. A fun head-nodding tune.
9. Mid/upbeat, a more contemporary sound, big, busy, dance.
